WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THE WORK?

The Merchant Marine is that part of the maritime trade industry concerned with transporting cargo or passengers from place to place via water routes. Merchant Mariners operate ships and other water vessels on domestic and international waters. Workers on these ships are divided into three crews: the Deck Crew, which handles navigation and cargo operations, the Engine Crew, which oversees the generating system that propels the ship and the Steward/Supply Department, which sees to provisions meals and living quarters. Each crew is commanded by a Designated Officer. Water transportation workers hold 378,500 jobs. Average pay is between $40,000 to over $100,000.
